Women have a greater verbal capacity.

I love so many different genres. I love crime films - and unusual coming-of-age pieces.

There are few films where you have women really driving the plot.

I devoted myself to writing for years without representation or a promise of anything. And there were times when I felt quite down about my prospects.

From stoplights to skyscrapers, turn anywhere in civilization and you will see imagination at work. It's in our inventions, advances and remedies and how a single parent masterminds each day. Imagination is boundless, surrounds us and resides in us all.

I think there are many more stories still to be told about women.

You can be moved by an animated film and not by a live action film. There could be great inspiration in and humanity in that animated story.
